Heading Out

We're headed out west for our adventure. Four boys, one girl, one tent.

We're not camping for the entire time, just four days. The rest of the time we'll spend between Jon's parents and Jon's brother's family. And, I get to spend a night with an old friend of mine, Susan. Susan and her husband moved to Denver a few years ago and she just happens to live about two miles from Jon's brother. So, after two weeks of being with the boys, I get to spend an evening with a wonderful friend who is taking me to her tea shop and bead shop AND out to dinner!

Every year I think I can't possibly get everything packed and cooked and stuffed and cleaned in time, but every year we pull out at four in the morning, right on time. And then the journey begins. Through disgusting gas station bathrooms and food in the van. Through 'i gotta peeeeee', and 'who let that one go?' But this year, we are stopping at a hotel on the way out there and they cook breakfast for us - for free!!! It's worth the drive to have someone cook and clean up for us.

As I have nothing else to say, I guess I better keep packing instead of spending all my time laying in bed on the computer!
